Some of the questions are a bit strange, like the upper jaw fused to the skull thingy.
Read the questions carefully before answering.
I rushed through and could have had full marks if I paid more attention!
i'm not a complete idiot, some parts are still missing!!

18. The question of the jaws confuses me. When I did my course with Mike Perry he specifically said that snakes do not dislocate their jaws. The bottom jaw is not fused together by bone but by an elastic ligament and that is what allows snakes to swallow large prey items.

So what is the correct answer then?
A Shangaan legend states that any man resting or sleeping in the shade of a baobab will become eccentric and forever be enslaved by Africa and its wilderness, guess it's too late for me.
